IMPROVEMENT IN GLOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 146,703, dated January 20, 1874; application filed November 7, 1873.

To Vall whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, IsAAC N. PEARsoN, of Napa, in the county of Napa and State of California, have invented an Improvement in Gloves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a clear and exact description of the same.

My invention relates to an improvement in the manufacture of gloves, and more especially to that class of gloves made from buckskin for driving purposes; and it consists mainly in a novel method of forming the pattern, so that the hand and all but the back of the two middle fingers will be made of one piece. These into their place, the wrist-piece or gauntlet being stitched to the glove in the usual way.

In the drawings, Figure l represents a view of the blank which forms thehand and principal part of the glove. Fig. 2 is a completed glove.

The dies for cutting out the pattern of my improved glove are made in the usual way, and so shaped as to cut out the pattern shown in Fig. l.

A A are the two parts which, when folded, form the foretinger. B and C form the front or inside of the middle fingers, and D of the fourth or little finger, while the part E fur- G, so that when the form or pattern is foldedl it will have an opening equal to the back of. the two inside fingers, and so shaped at the base as to admit the back to be stitched in neatly and strongly. The pieces H and I, which form the back of the two middle fingers,

are cut out by a die or form, as shown, so as to unite and make the seam from back to front between the fingers. This leaves the glove in the strongest form, and the least liable to rip y The hole J for the y between the iingers. thumb is cut as shown, and the thumb-piece is so formed that the ordinary gusset is dispensed with, and, when folded over, can be stitched into its place, andthe gloves coin- In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my i A hand and seal.
